James Connolly: an anti-colonialist revolutionary
James Connolly was a socialist whose role in the 1916 Easter Uprising in Dublin made him a key figure in Ireland’s national revolution.
But he was also a major theorist, one of the few socialists of his day to link working class struggles with the fight for national liberation.
Paddy Gibson discusses the importance of a new book about him, The Lost and Early Writings of James Connolly, 1889-1898, by Conor McCabe.
This talk was delivered at a Solidarity meeting on 1 May 2025.
